Hi there,
My name is Julia and I just pretty much love animals. I love being around all sorts of animals, whether they're big or small, loud or quiet and fast or slow. I am very reliable, punctual, honest and also respectful of peoples privacy and possessions. My cat unfortunately passed away at the start of 2017 and was 16 years old. I had her since she was a kitten and for the past couple of years I gave her daily medication for arthritis so am comfortable giving medication. I have been on Mad Paws since January 2015 and have had many clients since then and really enjoy the work that I am able to do because of this website. I also love going for walks, especially with some extra company. I would love to meet you and your pet!

Pet Sitting | Feb 16, 2018

Julia was great! Super friendly and sent us photos along the way. Even tried to troubleshoot the dishwasher that broke down during her stay (sorry Julia!)
Left the house beautifully tidy and the cats were very content.

I joined the Mad Paws website because I have always loved animals and thought that I would do well as a pet sitter. I enjoy being around all different kinds of animals so pet sitting has been great for me!

Q&A

Where will you walk my dog? Please tell us about the nearby parks.

I live across the road from a very big park that has a pathway along the Merri creek and connects with Bundoora Park. I usually like to go for walks through to Bundoora Park as it is very relaxing and peaceful. If I was to walk your dog near my house I would most likely take them there.
If I was to throw the ball for them in an enclosed space I would be able to take them to an outdoor enclosed velodrome not too far from my house.
If I were to walk your dog near your house I would need to ask where they usually like to go or will use Google Maps to try and find a local park or walking track.

What information do you need to know about a pet before accepting a booking?

-Feeding times and type of food
-Allergies
-Openness with other animals (in case of dog walking)
-Medication
-Indoor/outdoor time
-Habits
-Toilet training

What is the estimated time that you will spend with my pet each day?

If I were to look after your pet at your house I would try and be with them as much as possible throughout the day, I also don't mind if they sleep on the bed. The only time I wouldn't be with them is if I was out during the day or doing some cleaning around the house.
